This PR enables the re-computation of the MET significance for the corrected METs on PAT, and enable the JER uncertainty propagation to the MET when the jets are not smeared.
Packages touched:
Format and content changes :
No real changes of performances/miniAOD size is expected. the MET significance changes only has an effect when the MET is recomputed on top of miniAOD, but the covariance matrix is not recomputed, which means that CPU ressources stays basically the same. The jet smearing used to compute the JER variation is small and does not reduce significantly the processing rate
